How to Choose the Right Style for Your Space
Choosing the right barn door isn't just about style—it’s about functionality, fit, and finish. Whether you're looking to enhance your home office, renovate a bathroom, or add rustic charm to your kitchen pantry, this guide will help you find the perfect barn door solution.
How to Measure for a Barn Door
Before you buy, it's important to measure your doorway properly:
Width
Measure the opening and add at least 1" on each side (2" total overlap) to ensure full coverage. This helps your barn wood sliding closet door or solid wood barn door fully block the opening when closed.
Height
Measure from the floor to the top of the opening. Add about 1" to 2" for smooth clearance. Whether you're installing a 60 inch barn door or a 48" half barn door, this ensures proper hanging height.
For Closet or Double Barn Doors
Make sure there's enough wall space for the door(s) to slide completely open—especially for bypass closet doors, double-panel barn doors, or slatted barn doors. Limited space? Consider a barn door style for tight openings.
